[W8MWA] 3Y0Z Bouvet Island Dxpedition Info

Wed Feb 7 06:33:13 EST 2018

Carl,
I have been following them on Facebook.
They are headed for Capetown South Africa.
They are starting to get far enough north that
they're now out of the severe weather.

I am confused - yesterday's announcement was that they aborted the landing on Bouvet and are headed for South Africa.  This is also the last message on their website.  Do you have other information?

Ok folks!  Theoretically, they should have arrived and be setting up.  Here's a way to possibly grab maybe a once in a lifetime QSO with 3Y0Z.  They will be working split transmit and receive frequencies, so you want to listen for them to tell you where they are listening.  They will also be working FT8.  (See website below.)  They suggest to check the spotting clusters to see where they are working on various bands in real-time.
